SECUDE International AG: SECUDE Releases Central Management for Hardware- or Software-based Full Disk Encryption

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:01072008

Lucerne, Switzerland -- SECUDE International AG announces the release
of FinallySecure 9.1 with Centralized Management to its Data Protection
portfolio. FinallySecure is the world's only hybrid software- or
hardware- based Full Disk Encryption. FinallySecure enables early
adoption and migration to the upcoming wave of hardware-based FDE
technologies such as Seagate Momentus Full Disk Encryption (FDE) disk
drives.

Many enterprises struggle with the performance impact of software-based
encryption solutions and are searching for a solution. While hardware
juggernauts such as Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Intel have already
announced their continued push into the hardware-based encryption and
security market, few enterprises are willing to migrate to the new,
faster technology without robust central management. FinallySecure 9.1
Enterprise allows companies to manage their legacy FDE systems while
adapting to the new technology efficiently and effectively.

"Do you know where your company laptops are?" asks Tristan Kromer, Vice
President of Data Protection Division, "Enterprises require encryption,
not only to protect company data from being stolen, but also to enforce
company policy with central management. If an employee leaves the
company without returning their laptop, FinallySecure can erase that
hard drive remotely or just temporarily decommission it. This sort of
flexible central management system, applied to both software- and
hardware- FDE, allows companies to protect their data, even when they
cannot protect their laptops."

FinallySecure provides remote configuration, remote decommissioning, an
intuitive user interface, and synchronization with Active Directory.
FinallySecure 9.1 Enterprise with FinallySecure Management Console 1.0
fulfills critical business needs by allowing customer migration from
software to hardware-based FDE, all with unlimited number of users and
group policies.

Partnering with hardware vendors for encryption also unlocks other
advantages. In addition to increased performance, hardware-based FDE
compartmentalizes the encryption algorithms on the hard disk drive


itself. This eliminates the possibility that a virus or bugs in the
overall OS can corrupt the encryption and result in the loss of data.

FinallySecure allows businesses to survive, adapt and grow in a
heterogeneous IT eco-system.
